Well, I just interviewed to be an AV actor. If everything goes well, I will send you the details on how to apply.

I just applied (of course in Japanese) and on the application, I just gave me name, email, number, favorite actresses, things I am willing to do, and a brief cover letter.

The guy actually gave me an interview and we had our interview at a cafe in Hachiouji.

He had me fill out a handwritten application such as my name, dob, hobbies and why I want to apply.

He said I was the first foreigner he ever interviewed and he was pleased with my Japanese. I wrote that Anri Okita was one of my favorites and he gave me an autograph picture of her. He says even if I do get hired, there is no guarantee I could have her.

He says most guys he interviews are full of themselves and can't walk the walk. Not just sexual performance but they think they're big shots and act unprofessional.

He said in my cover letter I didn't come across that way and that I was serious about doing it in my own way and being respectful of the industry. I told him salary wasn't a concern to me because I'd rather be paid peanuts than pay 60000 yen to have a girl at a soapland and he says he doesn't hear people say that and that I had a point.

He told me that the objective is to sell the actress and the actor is just there to help in that. I told him I am not in it for fame and that the selling and safety of the actress would be my priority and he liked that. He says as long as I can keep a relaxed mentality than I can do fine and he says he will find me a project.

Of course I addressed some concerns about if I could do it. I have my good days and bad and he says just to relax and have fun if I get my chance. He says directors of will understand if I have my discomforts. He says if I present myself to the staff and actress the way I conducted myself with him, then I can succeed.

I told him that I have met some AV actresses through the trade and I showed him some pictures. He was glad that I got some education about the industry from them and it could be helpful.

Hopefully I can get a project soon.
 
Good luck. Let us know how it goes. If you get a project, also let us know what it is.

Caucasian actors are very rare in Japanese AV. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Good Traci Lords, what did you do? and in a cafe!:nailbiting:

Good luck with it.

he admitted to me a lot of crazy ass things like the pay will be shit, but hey, i'd rather by paid 600 yen than dish out 60,000 yen. but i was surprised i got an interview. i will start out with weekend work. he does ask stuff like am i willing to show my face and all that. it is funny i am one of those people that can get away with a clark kent/superman situation. i am always wearing a suit and glasses to work and when i don't wear my glasses and wear my real outfit, nobody recognizes me. hopefully that will work if i can get any work in japanese porn. but i do have friends all over japan and i do have concerns of people recognizing me. but if i mostly work with debuting, rising or no name actresses i don't mind. but if i do get to fuck a big name actress like hitomi and lose my rep, then hey, i don't give a flying fuck.
 
valuable information. keep us updated. i would to love to hear how this turns out.

This could provide us (TAGers) with a fascinating peak into a mostly veiled world if you are so kind as to share some of your experiences with us...please!

Good on you, JB! I think you can have a lot of fun with this. Better yet- make sure to put down your experiences in words. You always express yourself very well, and there is definitely interest in whatever you are able to share from behind the scenes.

Okay. See "I am a sex addict" on YouTube.

Joining the AV leagues because you ran out of cash to play and can't stay away long enough to refill your coffers?

The opinions that I've heard as to why there are few White guys in Japanese porn, is that it doesn't attract Japanese interest enough as a distinct fetish or category. Many Japanese consider themselves as quasi-White/almost White. It doesn't peak interest as much as Black guys do, in an interracial or contrasting type way.

Japanese guys can take on the role of pretending to be the White guy or replace the White guy, where they can't really do that with Black guys. Except in a mocking bad comedy type way, and porn isn't about doing that, it's about physicality and sexuality. So when it comes to an interracial category, Black guys are placed there, where Whites are more ambiguous and undefined.

In contrast, in many Western countries, Asian (and particularly Asian women) are very much place in the interracial and non-White category. Asians are seen as a different and distinct group, where there is a fetish and category they are put in. The difference in how the West and Japan classifies interracial White and Asian porn appears to lead to confusion for Whites in Japan. Like where is the White and Asian porn? That they are used to seeing back home.

Some of us have responded to johnnyboy's post with references to white/caucasion, but I distinctly remember him saying that he's multiethnic and blends in well with any group, which may have worked in his favor in getting this opportunity.

Having said that, his racial difference from Japanese may not be so immediately noticeable in an AV, though the huge size of his penis, that he has told us about, probably will.

Be careful jb!

Just wondering JB, whatever happened to settling down with one girl and giving up P4P? But you can easily argue that getting paid as an AV actor isn't P4P. Good luck in your new profession!

Yeah, if I can get casted and a DVD comes out, then I would be glad to share with everybody the full details.

Yeah, thanks a lot. I am doing this because I simply want to and hope to one day bang my favorite porn actresses. If there are non-disclosure agreements, then I can share what I can only share.

That is a fraction of the reason lol. I can't say I ran out of cash, it's just I recently moved closer to the Tokyo area (though I was originally meant to go to Kansai) and just found this to be a good opportunity if given one.

Well, it's the girls that tell me (and a lot of us gaijin always get) about the size. If that's what they tell us, then hey, we're all for it. But yes, I am very mutli-ethnic. My mom is Filipino, Chinese, and Hawaiian and my dad is Latino, white and Native American. But yeah, I will be careful. I do not see this being a career, just something I want to try and have fun with.

The scout who interviewed me was a really nice guy and was very interested in other countries and cultures. He seemed open minded and he said he would sell me as best as he can telling me I came across as humble and professional. He says most dudes he meets tend to be douche bags who think they're the shit.

I showed up to the interview in a suit and he dresses all casual and I think that might have impressed him, I don't know. I say if you want to do this, Japanese skills and street smarts are a definite must. He is also big into K1 and MMA and we had good talks about that as well. I thought he was going to be a prick like some of the boys at fuzoku businesses that say "Japanese only," but he was pretty cool and was fascinated that I applied. Apparently, he wasn't aware of the struggle that a good percentage of fuzoku businesses don't allow foreigners but he admits he is more open minded that most people and could see that I do have respect for Japanese culture and that I am willing to show respect to people in the industry and the actresses.

I tried and failed again and again. I am not in an emotional state to pursue a relationship anymore. I just want to concentrate on myself in relation to my work, as a martial artist (I want to earn a black belt in ryukenkai karate and do some grappling tournaments), and maybe as a part time AV gig. As i said, i don't see this as a long term career. Just something for fun and as a distinct challenge.

Part of the appeal as I shared with the guy was Shimiken's tweet about the shortage of AV actors and I wanted to really put that to the test. I know this won't be easy but I am sure when the DVD or whatever is out, then I can see the work I put into it will be worth it.
 
awesome man! I hope you get it:) I've been a porn actor here for a couple of years now. Hes totally right, treat everyone with the upmost respect and you will succeed. They treat you very well.

OK, I watched it. Looks like a cute movie; I'd probably see it if my date were interested too. But I have no clue what it means as a comment on or contribution to this thread. It doesn't bother me if you wanna post all these clips, but just in case you thought they convey something to everyone...

Sounds like you made a good first step. I wouldn't mind getting called for some kawai or s-cute talent gigs. Hope you score a real cutie.

I saw an ad recently for new amateur talent. Pay was 1000 yen, you pay your transport and you have to have an STD test, which they make you pay for. That said, I would do it. That could be somewhat isolated case.

Ai Uehara was looking for male talent amateurs awhile back. You might want to hit up her agency.

The black guy thing is a humiliation thing the Japanese guys get off on. If anyone remembers the 99bb site or xvn site, the interracial scenes were listed under "filthy girls", among other tags. A shooter I know says 5 years back or so he was making a killing cause the guys in Jp ate it up... Now, not sure. Seems more shoots are happening in California and Eastern Europe these days.

Just remember you are a stunt cock. Keep your face out of the way as much as possible, make slurping sounds when you eat the manko and stay rock hard. That's the main issue.

Guys being able to stay hard...in front of other guys, a crew... look into viagara maybe. At shoots in LA companies get so many, "I'm a pornstar" guys who come in with a swagger and leave with their tails between their legs. I don't think I could get wood in a room with 2-3 not so attractive people, fully clothed and no one's sucking my dick... Has got to be tough.

Personally I have never liked western adult very much because the cameras too focused on the guy half the time.

JB please let me know if you hear of any bukkake shoots. I've always wanted to drop a load on a cutie for a bukkake video. Might be a good way to test the wood issue as well.
 
No fluff girls in Japanese AV?
 
None to my knowledge or atleast on the sets that I've worked on. Usually what they do is give you a break and some lube or if the girl you're working with is cool, she'll help you out.

I don't do long expositions. :sleep:

Analogy/parallel to encouraging someone to become an AV actor? I am totally guessing/speculating here.
